Programmes and specialisations
Two programmes. Five specialisations. One maturita (school-leaving exam) that's worth something.
Both programmes are four-year, full-time and end with the maturita. Both give you two foreign languages, touch typing and the basics of accounting and law. The difference is whether you want to start working straight after school or continue to university.

Each specialisation has two hours a week from year 2 to year 4 and also shapes the practical maturita exam.

Don't know yet what you'll enjoy?
No problem. You choose a specialisation only in year 2 – after a year in which you try everything and find out what you're good at.
